The backlash he received so far most likely got to him and he knows it will become even more sever once the major fight scene actually drops, which most likely will be next episode.

btw, Japan is techonologically dead.

Even AI could fix a large part of the final result, and yet they let that shit be released.

After thinking about it for a while, I wonder why should I pity the director? It isn’t like they pointed a gun towards him to sign the contract. And why would JC staff deliberately choose him? Obviously he choose on this job on his own accord.
Look, the outcome is crystal clear now🫱
But wait, if I look it from the other side, the criticism towards opm isn't bcz of the bad direction, but for the trash animation, which is the studio's fault alone. That's not something a director handles. But still, if a show gets hated, the hatred will eventually spread to all the other staffs too. Perhaps I should feel bad for him

Its not like it's completely the fault of the director whenever a project goes south(nor is it completly their doing when it goes good) but just because they’re the most well known name that people can point a finger to, they get all the backlash and slander, as if there aren't hundreds of people, several companies, and uncontrollable events behind these things. As much as this season is unsatisfactory, I feel bad if they're getting enough hate to delete their account

@Rom-Com_lover it's in no way just the studios fault alone it's mostly from bandai

@Rob7 so you want Ai to replace animators?
Maybe Ai should replace your favourite manga artists & writers too 🙄

Incredibly sad and honestly disgusting. If you don’t like the animation then shut up and don’t watch it. Simple as that. The webcomic doesn’t have the “best” art in it either so I really don’t think OPM NEEDS stellar animation when the original work it is based off proves that you don’t need flashy visuals to make a good and unique story that resonates with people.

@Rob7 in the general sense its the opposite, that technology in japan advanced more than the other countries and in return it partially ruined their society, which is also why their birthrates are so low and depression so high, and the overall very toxic work cultuer, although that is a different subject, the job of being animator is one of the worse and most pressuring "technology" jobs to have, manga author and videogame developer are also bad in that sense

It baffles me how anyone would blame the director and animators individually instead of going after the big guys like JC Staff or Bandai. Yeah the animation is shit, so voice your complaint to JC Staff and Bandai for a better, more manageable schedule in the future.

People be bringing ai into any discussion nowadays. Fuck you guys, you're annoying.

Because attacking staff gets results(they quit their jobs at the studio, talents are hard to replace).
Meanwhile going after the big greedy evil corporation won't accomplish anything because they just simply don't care.

Chronically online weebs don’t know shit and don’t know who to properly blame so they proceed to attack the director instead of the JC Staff and Bandai higher ups who not only have the actual decision-making power, but used said power to decide (I’m just assuming this was the general gist of it) “hey let’s green light a 3rd season and then just not give the staff enough time to animate it decently.” Classic lol, just classic 🚬🐤

I’m all for clowning on and making lighthearted jokes about how disappointing the animation is but if you venture into the territory of personal attacks against people who are trying their best under shitty circumstances, or if you support those attackers/feel no sympathy for those being attacked

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

@Rob7 The fact that AI slop animation looks better than what JC Staff gave us is hilariously sad. The anime industry and its job market are going to be doomed if they keep putting out garbage like that.

@casilo You want that technology not being used in the industry? Well stop defending a product that comes from greed, because garbage like that is exactly what gives AI the upper hand. Keep lowering the bar, and don’t cry when automation takes over.
